I am a Derby supporter so this is naturally the league I have the most interest in. I was at Wembley for the play-off final last month and when QPR had a player sent off and Derby completely dominated the majority of the match it was so difficult to watch that QPR goal go in a minute from the end. However hopefully last year's surprise success will translate into further success this year!

A very close game to start off with for Derby as was expected but very pleased to have come away with the win against Rotherham and the 3 points! Hopefully this is the start of what is hopefully going to be another great season for us.

I really think Middlesborough are going to have a great season.

Think (and hope) Derby go up too. McClaren always got too much stick, he's a very underrated coach. Really like him so I want him to do well.

Boro and Watford are my tips to do well from those outside of the obvious.

Have those 2, Derby, Forest, Norwich and Wigan for the top 6, the latter two being top 2.

Easy win for Forest today, a walk in the park which felt a lot like a pre-season game. Blackpool an absolute shambles.

I know they ended the season with a bad run of form, but these decisions always baffle me. So he spends a whole summer completing his squad, signing players he wants, then after a very bad result, he's sacked. Just doesn't make much sense to me.

Seems like Solskjaer has been fired as Cardiff manager, I'm not sure how long it is until Felix Magath follows him. I'm astonished by how poor Fulham have started the season.

Very early if so, Derby are playing Cardiff next so if it is true I hope they don't benefit from the "new manager" effect!

It has been confirmed that Solskjaer has left Cardiff City.

Surprised it took so long, but Magath has been sacked at Fulham.

I heard Craig Bellamy has ruled himself out of the Cardiff job. Who would want to manage Cardiff City?

Unfortunately a defeat for us (Derby) today, but still top of the table - couldn't have asked for a better response to May's play-off final defeat. Very pleased to see that there was no hangover from that into the new season.

Still think Derby will win the league comfortably, but it's looking very close as usual, with Middlesborough not too far behind.

I hope you're right! We've got a few "top-of-the-table clashes" coming up in the next few weeks with the likes of Middlesbrough, Norwich and Ipswich so if we are still looking good by the end of January then I'll start getting more confident but it can all go wrong yet! When we are on form though we are definitely unbeatable, the 5-0 win against Wolves was particularly incredible (although they have since fallen down the table!).

I need Derby to get promoted so United get 250,000 for Russell.

I've never been so interested in the Championship so much until this season, It's been a rather incredible couple of months and everything is so close.
